The Right Answer

It's the right answer to be supportive and tell her to do what makes her happy, leave this place and go where she'll feel fulfilled. It's telling her to search for something better, before she burns out or becomes jaded.

It’s the right answer, but it means she could soon be gone. It could mean one less person to brighten the day, one less partner in crime and one less reason to stay here yourself. For if she left, she would be leaving your life, because you haven't learned how to hold on to those who are far away.

It's the right answer. You know it, but your selfishness wants her to stay. It wants to tell her to wait for things to get better, though they may never get better. And you feel guilty for even allowing these thoughts to cross your mind, when it's only her interests you should be considering.

It's the right answer and the one you gave. Afterwards, a sense of gloom overcame you. You tried to wash it away with a grande peppermint latte and then tried to rationalize it in writing. Have you convinced yourself yet? Do you feel better now?
